Sorry about the lack of posts from this site, and thank you all for the lovely comments about our magazine shoot. University seems like a lifetime ago, just in case you're still interested here are some links to 'what happened next';

FL does etc. magazine

So Hannah and I ended up styling a shoot for etc magazine. We borrowed a bunch of lovely clothes from the likes of Skirt, Attica and Best Vintage of The Lane, Newcastle. Plus we added in a few finds of our own.

I think it turned out OK, the theme was dark glamour - all new for autumn. Our friend Liz did the make up, victory curls and dark lips and we took the pictures at Belsay Hall. It was such a beautiful place, torn and faded vintage wall paper with exposed oak floors. Lovely. Plus some very unusual art exhibitions downstairs. Well worth a gander.

August Days

Last week an entire day of sunshine arrived, so naturally FL headed to the banks of the river Wear to take some bright snaps. I do hope you like them, we went for a vintage feel. Note the polka dots. I particularly enjoyed the cream Pearl Lowe tea dress (with the peter pan collar). Delightful.

Anyhow, we had a lot of fun. Thanks to the girls in the pub for letting our lovely models get changed upstairs, and many thanks to the fella's who run the boat hire place. You were lovely, and so were your boats!

So we went down to Penshaw monument at midnight with a heap of clothes and a camera for our sheer shoot - this was the result. It was cold, and we had to climb up a tonne of steps, but it was nice up there, so take a trip. Most of the clothes are from American Apparel. They love see-through things. It's completely their bag, in fact they put more sheer things on their site this week. Sweet.

Anyhow, do let us know what you think.
